Lactose intolerant help



Recommended Posts

Well.....I have become lactose intolerant. I tried to deny it but I can't anymore. So...I need suggestions for non dairy Protein. I used cheeses and cottage cheese for a lot of my protein aside from meat. Now I feel lost. Milk is in most everything. Thank you.

You can use Lactaid brand products. They make milk, cottage cheese, and a host of other products. They also make lactaid tablets that you can use before you eat anything with lactose in it.

I use lactaid milk now, exclusively. I don't have any problems with cheese, only milk.

Hope this helps.

After RNY surgery, I became lactose intolerant. A couple months later that problem disappeared and I could once again drink milk. The most important detriment to lactose intolerance lies in Protein shakes. Some contain lactose but fortunately many do not. It is important to select Protein Shakes that are lactose free.

I've been lactose intolerant since birth. I stick to almond milk or soy if almond isn't available. And in the case that something may have lactose in it, there are lactaid pills which help a lot.

I've been lactose intolerant for about ten years. I tried the Lactaid milk and still had problems. However, since finding out about Fairlife Milk, I'm enjoying it again. And it has something like 13 grams of Protein in a serving and less sugar than comparable milks. I love it! And my NUT approved the 2% chocolate milk for an occasional treat.

Lol. Funny thing. I hadn't had a BM for 5 days so I thought I would have some sour cream so my lactose intolerance would "empty me out". Well unfortunately or fortunately I may no longer be lactose intolerant because it didn't effect me. Lol

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
